Tick-tock, like the sound made by some kind of machine. Qingyun felt very familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere.

He shook his head and the sound disappeared again. The fog in front of me dispersed, revealing a ruins.

It was raining heavily in the sky, and it was obviously dark now, but the ruins were extremely bright.

Qingyun saw that Ji Nanqiu looked at the ruins in front of him in shock. He didn't seem to believe his eyes.

Throwing away the umbrella in her hand, the heavy rain instantly wet her body. The things she was holding were also scattered on the floor. There are snacks and toys. These are for the children in the orphanage.

But looking at the orphanage that had become a ruin, Ji Nanqiu's mind went blank.

After being stunned for a while, he started running frantically through the ruins. Seems to want to find something. The tears were mixed with the rain, and it was hard to tell whether she was crying or not.

After searching for a while, she finally determined that this was the place where she had lived since she was a child.

He collapsed and knelt on the ground. Just today during the day, she called the dean, but her number was always empty.

She thought it was the dean who had changed his number, so she didn't think much about it. Only now do I understand.

Kneeling in the middle of the ruins, he kowtowed three times solemnly. I stared at the ruins in a daze until the sky turned white.

Someone passing by who knew her wanted to help her up, "Hey, little girl, don't keep kneeling here, this orphanage was demolished three days ago."

Ji Nanqiu seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and held on to the aunt's hand, "Why was the orphanage demolished? Where are the director and the children inside?"

"This...I don't know this, it seems because I have no money."

Ji Nanqiu wanted to stand up, but he had been kneeling for too long and his legs had lost all feeling.

He fainted as soon as he stood up. Before she fainted, she only saw the panicked expression on her aunt's face.

I was scared to wake up in the hospital. She spent the next month checking the situation in the orphanage, but still found nothing.

The orphanage cannot go bankrupt. In addition to Yan Siyuan’s year-round support, there are also many other caring people’s support. So, there must be some other reason for the orphanage.

On this day, Ji Nanqiu was changing Li Wenyao's dressing.

Li Wenyao looked at her with a pale face. "I heard that you have been investigating the orphanage these days."

Ji Nanqiu looked up in confusion, wondering how Li Wenyao knew.

"The orphanage didn't go bankrupt, it's just that I didn't like the place, so it was gone."

Li Wenyao's voice is very nice, but she feels a little weak when speaking.

Now she was smiling and talking calmly about the things that made Ji Nanqiu collapse.

Ji Nanqiu took a step back violently and spread the medicine all over the floor. She looked at Li Wenyao in disbelief. Suddenly, I realized that her smile was so dazzling.

"Why?", she didn't understand. She and Li Wenyao didn't seem to have any grudge, so why did Li Wenyao do this.

Looking at Ji Nanqiu's red and swollen eyes, dark circles, and slightly messy hair, Li Wenyao smiled even brighter.

"Because you made Brother Siyuan laugh, and he never smiled for me." Li Wenyao felt aggrieved.

Ji Nanqiu felt funny, "Aren't you Yan Siyuan's sister?".

"Sister? Did he say that? No, I am his fiancée."

Ji Nanqiu disdained, "He doesn't have a fiancée, and you are not engaged."

She made a special investigation before chasing Yan Siyuan. Yan Siyuan does not have any engagement. So Li Wenyao is self-righteous.

Li Wenyao's eyes darkened a bit "sooner or later".

"So? What does everything you do mean?".

"A warning to you. I can easily destroy the things you hold dearest."

Ji Nanqiu took a deep breath, clenched the sheets with both fists, and suppressed his inner emotions.

"Where are they?", she asked the director and the orphans.

Li Wenyao pretended to think for a moment, "Those orphans? It seems...I sold them to human traffickers."

Qingyun couldn't bear it anymore. Tears fell from his cheeks and he slapped Li Wenyao on the face. The beating made her hands numb. Li Wenyao's head was hit crookedly, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

"Li Wenyao! Are you crazy? That is illegal!".

Li Wenyao turned his head, and the slap marks on his face soon became swollen. She still smiled "Where's the evidence?".

"you......".

"What are you doing?" Yan Siyuan stood at the door, looking at the two people in the room.

Ji Nanqiu put his hands behind his back in a panic, as if he had done something wrong.

Li Wenyao smiled sweetly as if nothing had happened, "Brother Siyuan is here, nothing happened. It's just that Dr. Ji was in a bad mood and slapped me."

Yan Siyuan looked at the slap mark on Li Wenyao's face and asked, "Is this just it?"

He looked at Ji Nanqiu with a scrutinizing gaze and frowned. Looking at Yan Siyuan, Ji Nanqiu didn't know how to explain it, so he turned and left without saying a word.

Yan Siyuan wanted to catch up, but Li Wenyao grabbed him by the corner of his clothes and said, "Brother Siyuan, it hurts." He looked at Yan Siyuan with hazy eyes.

Yan Siyuan did not catch up after all.

Qingyun thought it was over here. Because she did call the police in the end, but because there was no evidence, she let it go.

It's just that the picture doesn't look like it's going to end at all. Qingyun shook her head and the scene changed. It was Yan Siyuan, holding a piece of paper in front of a dilapidated door.

He knocked on the door. The door opened, revealing a familiar face.

Qingyun looked at the person who opened the door in shock. It was the dean whom she found but could not find in the end. Now she has silver hair and is much older.

The dean was also a little surprised, "I didn't expect you to find this place."

Yan Siyuan smiled warmly, "Can I go in?"

"Of course, please come in."

Follow Yan Siyuan and walk inside. This house is very small and the things are very messy. There were many children inside. There are all big and small, and there are a few unfamiliar faces.

Qingyun counted and found that all the children in the orphanage were here, not a single one was missing.

Her eyes were moist and she couldn't help sobbing. No one here can hear her.

Yan Siyuan did not dislike the living environment in front of him, but was very happy that he had found everyone.

But for some reason, his heart suddenly hurt. He held his heart and paused for a while.

"What's wrong with you?" the dean asked concernedly.

"It's okay", Yan Siyuan waved his hand.

"Why are you here?".

The director sighed, "I don't know why, but the original place of the orphanage is going to be demolished and is not willing to rent it to us.

We have no choice but to look elsewhere. But after searching for a long time, no one was willing to rent it to us. It’s even difficult to rent a house, you can only live in this old town.”

Qingyun could feel her helplessness as she listened to the dean's narration.

Yan Siyuan has another question: "Then why don't you contact Dr. Ji?"

The dean hesitated, "Someone warned us that if we contact Nan Qiu again, all my children will be sold to human traffickers."
